Compose Key Sequences

On a SPARC keyboard, pressing the Compose key should illuminate the light on the key. On an IA keyboard, the Compose key is Control-Shift-F1 (hold the Control and Shift keys down and press the F1 key).

Localized keyboards do not all generate the same key codes for ISO Latin-1 characters. However, system translation tables take care of producing the right character code. The SunOS system finds its tables in /usr/share/lib/keytables.
